Hey Everyone,

My name is Venkat and I came across Endorphins via Instagram. This looks like an awesome place to make new friends and build community!

I am actually from DE but looking to move to Philly. I usually run along the Schyukill River for long runs in the weekends! Like Jon mentioned, I have also been kind of a lone wolf when it comes to running but now I’m definitely looking to make new friends and have fun running together!

I am looking forward to the NYC Half coming up in 4 weeks’ time! After that I have the SF Marathon and towards the end of the year, I will be ticking 2 items off my bucket list - running the Chicago and NYC Marathons! :) I’m also running for a charity for the Chicago Marathon so that has been a fun new experience as well!

I have run a few races in NYC, but never the marathon, so definitely looking forward to it! :)

I started off running as a means to lose weight back in 2019. but now it’s become more than a sport, it’s basically a lifestyle! Excited to share that with like-minded people here!

Feel free to add me on Instagram too!
